Time to laugh of all my friends that are now trying to use Skype! (soon I'll be receiving messages through MSN - not IRC or GTalk - asking why Skype stopped working)
Please let me know when a phone provider like my current one (Three) provides unlimited free usage of 'Ekiga' over their network without even requiring an Internet plan like Skype does and offers something similar to "Skype access", which I'm using at this very moment in Glasgow airport as I wait for my plane.
Pretty much most game engines can do that. Making a mod for unreal tournament, quake, doom, team fortress 2, half life etc. to offer an in-game NOR gate is pretty trivial. Compare this to a platform like Second life, where you have in-game scripting capability that lets you build simple items like NOR gates, it's not really that impressive to me.
do you really think that simply bundling libc is the answer to making cross-dist multi-OS-version high-end games for linux? do you think it's that simple?
It's how I did it for my published Linux game. So, yes.
Ah, well there's my Linux novice status showing, I wasn't aware of that. Out of curiosity are there any major limitations to do that?
Well, the advantage of using LSB is that your software doesn't need to provide it's own libraries and deal with security updates for those libraries, as the distribution will do that with their LSB distribution as opposed to going solo and providing all the libraries, libc etc. in your own package.
That aside, the only issue I have had when working with LSB is the developer kit is a bit of a pain in the ass to setup initially on some distributions which decided not to provide the development tools for LSB in their repositories. Beyond that, it's just like compiling any other software on Linux and then packaging it.
that's what folks in the industry call "hand waving". i tried to install some games from the ubunto "app store" or whatever it's called. one out of the 5 i tried worked.
I have no idea what you're talking about honestly. This distribution platform you have fabricated is not even relevant to the Linux standard base, please keep on topic, kthnx.
If Valve made a Steam client for Linux I'm sure it would run quite well, the problem is which distro do they make it for?
Just make it for the Linux Standard Base which pretty much every major distro but Gentoo (it can, just not by default) supports out of the box by default?
Or, you could just include the libraries and libc you compiled against in the same package (the dependencies). I fail to understand the problem?
No seriously -- have an Amazon referral account for Wikipedia. Let users link articles to books on Amazon with more information. Link every footnote to a book to a "buy now" button. It's value-added, not random advertising, and Wikipedia would get a cut. In return for all the traffic, have Amazon serve the site for free. Then the only money needed is for the salaries of the full-time staff, which the book sales would cover.
This idea conflicts with fair use (17 USC 107), such as using an image that identifies the subject of the article if the subject is a non-free work of authorship. A use is more likely to be considered a fair use if it is non-commercial, and if there's no ad, Wikipedia qualifies as "non-commercial".
Not everyone lives in the US or Western Europe. How many of those kids are in Russia or China, do you suppose?

How many are in jurisdictions that do care, but just don't have the resources to waste time locking up teenagers for bothering some American corporations?
"Uhh Hey Amazon.com, you REALLY don't want to do business with those scoundrels at wiki leaks do you? Say how do you like the U.S. postal system. How do you like the fact that the internet purchases are not taxed?"
I would imagine the response would be: "Maybe you should talk to North Carolina about taxes first and we'll see what we can do."
So how did "a" hardware failure brought their cloud down?
If you were using Amazon's cloudfront service, it would have automatically redirected traffic through a non-European data center instead, so it was only really down for those who chose to do S3 only without cloudfront.
This piece of shit is lucky he didn't pull this shit on me or someone I care about. Instead of arresting him, they'd be picking up little pieces of him from all over brooklyn.

As a former resident of Indianapolis, this stuff drives me crazy. Indy means Indianapolis, and it's poisoning internet searches for anything in the area. I know it's getting too late to change it, but come on, it's the 13th largest city in the U.S.
You've got your work set out for you AC. You will also need to stop the following:
The Indy is also The Independent is a British newspaper published by Tony O'Reilly's Independent News & Media.
Indy is a music discovery tool for computers with an Internet connection.
INDY, short for I'm not dead yet, is a gene of the model organism, the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster.
In professional wrestling, the independent circuit or indy circuit refers to the many independent promotions which are much smaller than major televised promotions, particularly the current World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) promotions.
Indy is a self-released album by the nu metal music group Motograter in February 2000. The album has a total of 10 tracks. Only 1500 of the Indy albums were produced.

The Indies is a term that has been used to describe the lands of South and Southeast Asia,Oxford Dictionary of English 2e, Oxford University Press, 2003, East Indies/East India occupying all of the present India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, and also Thailand.
I don't understand. How is it extra? It's the cost of running a public website when you allow everyone to do that. I'm certain Amazon isn't the worst abuser of Wikipedia's resources.

Nobody asked for your response either. How inconsiderate of you!

Many people have ideas, just very few get around to implementing it. It's the implementation that is hard.
I got libreoffice for free.
Free worked for me.
My phone still works fine while wrapped in tin foil.
Sorry, the only software I know of that does that with S3 is dropbox itself (yes, it uses Amazon S3)
Please turn in your geek card. It didn't even take me a minute.

Fix your font, my eyes hurt when I tried to read that.
You see, the problem is that OpenBSD doesn't have any users.
The main sites run on ec2, which doesn't benefit from cloud capabilities across multiple data centers, but their static data is placed on cloudfront.
I would imagine the response would be:
"Maybe you should talk to North Carolina about taxes first and we'll see what we can do."
I will continue to use them. I don't care if they know what kind of porn I look at.
